In conversation with an acquaintance recently, I remarked that I was getting ready for retirement. "You've been getting ready for retirement for three years," he said. "You'll never retire." "Oh yeah?" I answered with my usual snappy repartee. "I will so retire. One more year, tops." But he was sure I wouldn't. "You can't retire. Instead of thinking about doing nothing, you should be thinking instead about what you want to do NEXT." Well, I know what I want to do next. I'm already doing it (part-time anyway): WRITE. But I think this guy may have meant something that pays money. And I don't really have much hope for that by writing. I actually wrote something that made the New York Times bestseller list for a week or two - and still didn't get paid one cent. (All the proceeds went to St. Jude's Hospital, and that was great, but money in my bank account would have been great too.) But a second career after retirement? There are lots of careers I considered before ...

Elegant grownup food intimidates me.
There. I've said it.
I'm a twisted victim of arrested development or I am graced with eternal mental youth: In any case, quail makes me quail. I am the one whom others tell: Grow up! They have been saying this since I was 12. Thus far, no luck.
I try. And life has thrust upon me adult tragedies along with adult joys. And yet. Time and again I find myself transfixed by plastic jack-o'-lanterns, glitter glue, s'mores, and movies in which Hayley Mills portrays plucky Catholic-school girls or preteen twins. I try to act adult, but as I hear my voice saying Of course and Really? I just want to squirt myself with Silly String and hit the Slippery Slide.
And this applies to eating too. While I admire the expertise of master chefs as I admire the ouevres of, say, Shohei Imamura and Rumer Godden (shucking grown-up mask, having written this), I am often puzzled by their works of culinary art. Perplexed, as a Hayley Mills girl would be upon ...

I’m getting very excited because me and my partner Lynne are about to step into the great unknown or, as it’s sometimes called, Dorset. And it’s not unknown to Lynne; it’s just me who has managed to get through life without ever visiting Dorset, despite falling in love with the place somewhere in the region of 50 years ago. It was during a geography lesson that I saw a picture of Lulworth Cove on Dorset’s Jurassic Coast. This is, literally, a text-book example of a cove and is so perfectly circular that it looks like it’s been created by digital manipulation, although it is, in fact, the result of millions of years of coastal erosion operating on rocks of differing resistance (don’t ask for details – the lesson was ages ago and I wasn’t paying attention anyway. I was most probably thinking about Hayley Mills). You would need to have spent some time on the flat Lincolnshire coast – my nearest seaside when I was growing up – to understand the attraction of cliffs and a dramatically-s...

I'm not ashamed to admit that Lindsay Lohan was an important part of my childhood. Though I'm a year older than the child-star-turned-tabloid-mainstay, I grew up watching her.
As many times as my mom told me Hayley Mills' Parent Trap was better, I couldn't get enough of the 1998 installment, starring Lohan as both Annie James and Hallie Parker, separated twins who meet one summer at camp. Eleven-year-old Lohan had charisma, charm and an impressive British accent (at least to 12-year-old me who had yet to travel across the pond). My sister and I learned Annie and Martin's handshake and I started eating Oreos and peanut butter -- "a brilliant beyond brilliant idea." We watched The Parent Trap so many times, our VHS tape no longer worked.
Fourteen years after first being introduced to Lohan in that film, I found myself struggling to sit through Lohan's latest role: Elizabeth Taylor in the Lifetime original movie Liz &amp; Dick. Besides the other problematic factors at han...

BIG-NAME entertainment continues at Nottingham’s Theatre Royal this week with a bittersweet love story that stars two acting greats, Hayley Mills and Belinda Lang, in a premiere stage production of ‘Ladies in Lavender’ that’s pure magic.

If you don’t fancy venturing out in the pouring rain this weekend and are planning to curl up on the sofa instead, well you might want to give these films airing on your telebox a brief once over.
Terminator: Salvation (2009) – Saturday, Channel 4, 9.30pm
It’s the terrestrial premiere of the fourth instalment of the Terminator franchise. Rather than averting the nuclear war prophesised in the first three films, Salvation sees John Connor (Christian Bale) leading the ramshackle post-apocalyptic human resistance against the machines. He must team up with a teenage Kyle Reese (Anton Yelchin) whom he knows he must send back through time so that he can become his own father (get your brain around that) and newly awakened mystery man Marcus Wright (Sam Worthington)
Directed by McG whose previous credits include uh…Charlie’s Angels (and now lacklustre spy comedy This Means War), it’s a pretty tame affair. Things certainly go boom, but there’s an innate confusion of the core ...

THE career of actress Hayley Mills seemingly came full circle last night. Earlier in the day she appeared on TV in her mum’s 1961 film, Whistle Down The Wind, where, as a naïve 15-year-old, the wide-eyed English rose finds a wounded stranger who she mistakes for the son of God.

THE career of actress Hayley Mills seemingly came full circle last night. Earlier in the day she appeared on TV in her mum’s 1961 film, Whistle Down The Wind, where, as a naïve 15-year-old, the wide-eyed English rose finds a wounded stranger who she mistakes for the son of God.

In 2015, Mills toured Australia with sister Juliet Mills and Maxwell Caulfield in the comedy Legends! by James Kirkwood. While filming The Family Way, the 20-year-old Mills met 53-year-old director Roy Boulting. The two married in 1971, and owned a flat in London's Kensington. They then went on to purchase Cobstone Windmill in Ibstone, Buckinghamshire. Their son, Crispian Mills, is the lead singer and guitarist for the raga rock band Kula Shaker. The couple divorced in 1977.

In December 2007, for their annual birthday celebration of "The Master", The Noël Coward Society invited Mills as the guest celebrity to lay flowers in front of Coward's statue at New York's Gershwin Theatre, thereby commemorating the 108th birthday of Sir Noel.
